  1. He wouldn't hold up well at all most likely. We saw what Kirk looked like down the stretch last season and Jansen had 2 month long stretches on the injury list early in the season. Kirk's body type just will not hold up over long periods of being played as a catcher.
  2. Kirk and Jansen pretty much represent the high floor and high ceiling. I don't think there's much to argue that Kirks floor is higher with his contact ability and average-ish power, whereas Jansen can go on a heater for a few weeks and (if healthy) would be a legit 30 HR threat at his peak, but is also prone to cratering for stretches. Small rolling hills Kirk vs high peaks and low valleys Jansen.
  3. The way they calculate the average sprint speed is good though. defined as “feet per second in a player’s fastest one-second window” on individual plays. For a player’s seasonal average, the following two types of plays currently qualify for inclusion in Sprint Speed. The best of these runs, approximately two-thirds, are averaged for a player’s seasonal average. * Runs of two bases or more on non-homers, excluding being a runner on second base when an extra base hit happens * Home to first on “topped” or “weakly hit” balls. Basically they only take the plays where players are actually trying to run hard, and average those out.
  4. And acceleration. Dude seems to get to top speed in 2 or 3 strides.
  5. Horwitz cannot play a passable OF.
  6. Exactly. Deciding not to throw when you shouldn't be throing is a surefire way to reduce throwing errors.
  7. Would make punting Bass very very easy.
  8. Yes, their pitching will catch up with them eventually but that offense is legitimately nuts. Their defense is also pretty putrid. They're a good team, but its still early enough that variances and luck are playing a role.
  9. Orioles just took 2/3 from the Rays. Rays keeping up their tradition of beating terrible teams and losing to good ones
  10. What bad couple of weeks? they've won 4 of the 6 series they've played since leaving Houston.
  11. Building the farm for a sustainable winner doesnt simply mean keeping every prospect they ever have. It means a combination of keeping them and bringing them up (Bo, Vlad, Kirk, Espinal, Jansen, Biggio, Manoah, Romano, Pearson, Mayza) or trading them for other assets which they did to acquire Berrios and others.
  12. This is a puzzling move.... tie game in extras and you sub out your best outfielder?
  13. Bigger question here is... whos left for the 10th??? Pearson?
  14. Dangit. back to praying the pitching holds
  15. Well now, a walk does nicely. Time for Bo to earn his 300 million dollar deal.
  16. This inning will kinda write itself... pinch hit for Biggio, if he gets on base, Kiermeir bunts. If he doesnt... you wait for KK to strike out and hope Bichette goes yard.
  17. Alllrighty lets get some insurance here.
  18. That pitch to Schwarber was a great pitch, still got it on a line for a single
  19. That was the situation all the armchair managers would bitch about to no end if Harper did something Harper has owned Gausman in his career too.
  20. Gausman's arm is on fire today. Throwing 98 on close to his 100th pitch.
  21. Can't aim them. Chappy has been robbed about a dozen times already in the season and should probably be hitting above 400 with an OPS around 1.300 if all his line drives fell in.
